System: NetBSD gargoyle.cs.uni-sb.de 1.6K NetBSD 1.6K (Gargoyle) #7: Tue Nov 5 16:22:59 CET 2002 thesing@gargoyle.cs.uni-sb.de:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/Gargoyle i386

>Description:
When installing graphics/ogle_gui (ogle_gui-0.8.5nb1) from
 pkgsrc, every invocation of it will fail with a message of the form:
 Error during dlsym of glade_init: Cannot open "/usr/pkg/lib/ogle/libxml.so.9"

This is due to a bug in the function my_dlsym() in the file src/my_glade.c
There, it is checked if dlsym() returned an error by calling dlerror()
afterwards and checking if the resulting error string is != NULL.
But on NetBSD, dlsym() will return NULL on failure. If it doesn't fail,
the result of a succeeding dlerror() call is the last error that occured
_before_. In this case, it is the error that ld.elf_so encountered while
searching for libxml.so.9 in its search path....

	
>How-To-Repeat:
Install graphics/ogle_gui	and try to invoke `ogle -u gui' :-)

>Fix:
	
The attached fix invokes dlerror() before the call to dlsym(), clearing it.
